The Paris "Latest News" writes: "Chaliapin donated 5,000 francs to the priest Georgy Spassky on the Russian unemployed in Paris. 1000 is given to the former naval agent, captain 1st rank Dmitriev, 1000 handed out to the Spassky people who are familiar to him, at his discretion, and 3000 to the Metropolitan Eulogius. "
Taking out his wallet from under the tail-tail,
